Request
I need to export my 3D model as an IFC file - is there a special feature for this?

Answer
Yes, you can export your 3D model in the IFC format, by following these easy steps:
- go to a workspace level or the 3D view of your model;
- from the toolbar select the Export in IFC command.

see image ---> "Export in IFC" (toolbar)

Then choose the file path and name.

The IFC export command is also available in the File menu:
- selected the level or the 3D view of the model;
- from the File menu select Export;
- click the IFC Format option.

WARNING
The above is valid both for the BIM MODEL and IFC editor environments.

Subject: Confirmation of Process and Request for Further Assistance

Dear sir,
Thank you for reaching out to us.

Based on your description, it appears you are following the correct process to export the IFC file. You should indeed see a pop-up window prompting you to browse to a folder where you can save the exported IFC file.
To assist you further, could you please provide us with a series of screenshots of the steps you are following (a video would be even better), especially the point where the pop-up window should appear? This will help us better understand the issue and provide a more accurate solution.

Alternatively, we can schedule a quick remote support session to troubleshoot the problem directly. Please let us know your availability for this.

I would also recommend to reinstall the usBIM.editor (desktop), please follow these steps to ensure you have full access as an Administrator:

1. Uninstall the Current Version:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Go to "Programs and Features."
- Find usBIM.editor in the list and uninstall it.

2. Download the Latest Version:
- Visit our official website to download the latest version of usBIM.editor.

3. Run the Installer as Administrator:
- Right-click the installer file.
- Select "Run as Administrator."

4. Complete the Installation:
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

If you encounter any issues during the reinstallation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Tony
